Women's shoe size 6-9. These are fitting a lot better than they used to! Current batches max out at 18 inches around, and still go OTK (although they won't stay there without the help of garters or sock glue). These may even go as far as thigh high on slender folks!
About 22 inches from heel to top of cuff, unstretched.

Nice idea, a little short and tightThese have ended up being socks-with-pants socks for me as opposed to wearing with a skirt or savoring at home on a sockfeet day because they're not really tall enough for the former and not thick enough for the latter. I have the black with purple and the plum with black stripes and I would recommend the black with purple significantly more for the surprisingly vibrant contrast. The plum with black is nowhere near as dramatic -- those really feel like understated trouser socks with just a little bit of bonus character. These are a fine value for the price, but ultimately not in my Sock Dreams top 10.

Awesome!I bought these socks to go with a Twilight Sparkle cosplay. I was a little leery if they would be over the knee, but they worked like a dream. I walked around in them all day with minimal falling. You could use a sock glue if you want to be extra sure, but not necessary. I'm so happy with then, that I wear them with my every day clothing as well. So far, they have held up like a dream.

Bright and lovelyThese are really really tight and difficult to get on. Especially if you want the lines to be straight. However, once you actually manage to get them on and shifted around so that the lines are straight, they look AWESOME. But it's enough of a struggle that I save them for special times.

Amazing!I bought this at a convention where they were selling, and they stay up all day. They're very comfortable and super pretty! These socks aren't too hot to walk with, and you can't see your skin tone under. They are very satisfactory!!

old fashioned love!this would be my very favorite but for a couple things...i would love in an all black version (long ago there was an all white version which is my all time favorite all white sock)...also i would love them to be just a couple inches longer. the lilac/black version - i think - is so old fashioned, i love them! i have an old pair with discontinued color combo i think it was called cookies-n-cream - those are so oldfashioned too! the fit is great - they work very nicely with dressy shoes and heels.

I like the look, just wish they were longer...I really really like these, I just don't wear them often because they barely cover my knees, which I feel is a tad short. Working on a solution with maybe some stretch lace on the top though. I really do like them, if you have shorter legs or don't mind your knees sticking out the top these would work great for you. :)

Classy socks that go great with boots!The vertical stripes on these give them a more "grown up" look than some other OTKs. I have them in purple and have been wearing them a lot since they arrived. They just look so great with boots and this east coast winter has been never ending. I wish I had them in more colors!

Nice, but a little tight at the topJust tried these on and the color is lovely. I like the fit, except at the top where it's a bit tight. They fit perfectly below the knee, though. Unless I wear garters, these won't work for long walks because of the fit at the top.

I have a fairly old pair of these in bubblegum pink with black lines - will I ever see them again? I've worn fairly large holes in the heels, and would love to get a new pair.

Asked by: Kirika

Sadly, we don't expect to see the Cotton Inklined return to us in Bubblegum w/Black! Yarn availability and making room for new favourite pairings is often why a colour disappears and doesn't come back. :(

i really would love these in a longer version - any chance of that happening? thank you~

Asked by: raubynn

I believe the trouble we run into there is that the top cuff is already as wide as the machine that knits these can make it. If we did a longer length, they wouldn't be any wider, which for most people would mean that they can't go any higher, forcing a lot of people to wear them scrunched or not at all. Our Vertically Inclined Stockings are very similar, though - just a more elaborate style of stripes. They're about 6" longer, too!

What does inklined mean and what colors do you have?

Asked by: Franke

I think it's just in reference to the vertical stripes looking kind of like lines of ink.
You can view the color options for this or any other sock that comes in multiple colors by clicking the little white area surrounding the color description that initially lodes (in this case "red/black). That will give you a little drop-down menu in which you can select other colors, which will cause the photo to change to the color you've selected!
